Nowadays is observed an increasing lack of physical activity in the pediatric population, which is reflected in the increasing number of the civilization diseases. The aim of this work was to show the impact of regular dynamic activity on the functional status of the cardiovascular system and fitness in schoolable children (n = 100) using Ruffier’s functional test. The values of the Ruffier index were monitored and compared in groups of girls (n = 25) and boys (n = 25) involved in regular school activity within subject „Physical education“ in comparison with groups of children participating also in regular out-of-school physical activity (girls n = 25, boys n = 25) during 5 months. The most significant result (p < 0.001) was observed in functional status of children involved in both regular and after-school activity after 5 months. Presented work showed the significant impact of regular physical activities on circulatory system and muscular work of schoolable children.","PeriodicalId":31087,"journal":{"name":"Acta Facultatis Educationis Physicae Universitatis Comenianae","volume":"60 1","pages":"146 - 157"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45008066","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Usually, one-dimensional modalities such as running or a cycling simulator are used. There also exist protocols that use the HIIT principles but apply full-body exercises (HWT). The purpose of the study was to verify the response to unconventional loads based on HIIT and HWT protocols using the near infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) and spiroergometry: wall ball (WB); SKI ergometer, toes to bar (TTB) and assault air bike (AB) in a selected proband. Working interval was 60 s resp. 30 s, the rest between sites was progressively reduced from 60 s to 30 s. The proband completed a total of 3 laps. The results showed that the load applied had been similar to that of HWT or HIIT, where the effect on cardiorespiratory and metabolic functions was confirmed. Acute changes in the observed parameters of SmO2 in m. vastus lateralis indicate a possible effect on the development of strength capabilities. It has also been confirmed that the application of variable types of load can be applied simultaneously with the adjustment of rest time and thus using conditions that can reflect current options (material, environment, time) and specific goals. The measured values of muscle tissue oxidation, carbon dioxide output, heart rate confirm that a similar type of load can be a suitable means of affecting cardiovascular and metabolic functions.","PeriodicalId":31087,"journal":{"name":"Acta Facultatis Educationis Physicae Universitatis Comenianae","volume":"60 1","pages":"1 - 14"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41662526","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We assumed that the number of “neutral” player or players in small-sided games will significantly affect the intensity of SSGs and in this case the heart rate values of participating players. The experimental group consisted of older junior players from the FC DAC 1904 Dunajská Streda soccer club (n = 9). The heart rate values were evaluated on the basis of collected data, which we obtained using Polar sport testers and special software Polar Team2. In order to find out the statistical significance of the difference in heart rate was used the One-Way ANOVA and the Bonferroni post hoc test. The level of statistical significance we set at 5 %. We found out that with increasing number of “neutral” players’ the intensity of small-sided games gradually decreased. During SSG1 (3 vs. 3), we recorded the highest achieved average heart rate values of the monitored players, in average 171.33 ± 9.39 beats.min-1. This form of the SSGs was the most intense, but not statistically significant. Our recommendation is to employ SSGs in the systematic training process with different number of players, because we can adequately prepare the players for the match load itself.

The sample consisted of 24 girls in aerobic gymnastics (n = 12) and athletic (n = 12) aged 10 to 12 years. To assess the levels of girls’ lower limbs explosive strength, we administered the following tests: countermovement jump test, countermovement jump with free arms test, squat jump test, 10-seconds repetitive jumping test. Testing sessions took place in September 2019. To obtain data about the levels of lower limbs explosive strength, we recorded step height (cm) and duration of the flight phase (s). Data about the lower limbs explosive strength were collected using the Optogait system for optical detection. We applied basic statistical characteristics, namely Student’s t-test and multivariate linear regression. There were no significant differences between girls in aerobic gymnastics and athletics. We recorded better test results in the group of girl’s athletes in the countermovement jump, countermovement jump with free arms and squat jump. In the group of girl’s involved in aerobic gymnastics, we recorded better results in the 10-second repetitive vertical jumping and vertical jump strength. According to the collected data, we may conclude that the training process of the selected girls in terms of explosive strength development is significantly different. Girls involved in aerobic gymnastics showed a higher level of performance in the 10-second vertical jump, which results from the structure of sport specificity.","PeriodicalId":31087,"journal":{"name":"Acta Facultatis Educationis Physicae Universitatis Comenianae","volume":"60 1","pages":"104 - 94"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41478639","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
